ROCKVILLE, MD, July 09, 2026 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Elad Schulman has been selected for inclusion in Marquis Who's Who. As in all Marquis Who's Who biographical volumes, individuals profiled are selected on the basis of current reference value. Factors such as position, noteworthy accomplishments, visibility, and prominence in a field are all taken into account during the selection process. Mr. Schulman has distinguished himself as a visionary leader and expert in enterprise software, cybersecurity and artificial intelligence (AI), with a career spanning more than two decades and marked by innovation, strategic acumen and a commitment to advancing the technology sector. As the co-founder and chief executive officer at Lasso Security since 2023, he has driven the company's mission to empower organizations to confidently adopt generative AI without compromising security or performance. Under Mr. Schulman's leadership, Lasso Security has developed a pioneering platform that autonomously monitors all AI interactions, detects risks in real time and enables organizations to protect their activities seamlessly. His responsibilities encompass working directly with customers, including Fortune 500 companies and the U.S. federal government, on active accounts and prospective opportunities, directing company strategy across marketing, sales and product development, engaging with investors to raise capital for growth, managing global recruitment and talent acquisition, and forging strategic partnerships with industry leaders, such as Microsoft, Amazon Web Services Inc., MasterCard and CrowdStrike. A defining milestone in Mr. Schulman's tenure at Lasso Security was the company's collaboration with the U.S. federal government, a partnership typically achieved by early-stage cybersecurity firms only after five to seven years. Remarkably, Lasso Security began this work within its first year of operation. This accomplishment required significant dedication and adaptability, culminating in Mr. Schulman's participation in briefings at the White House for federal chief information security officers. He regards this achievement as both professionally rewarding and instrumental in shaping the company's direction. Before founding Lasso Security, Mr. Schulman served as a seed investor for Trustmi beginning in 2021, an investor for Returniverse since 2021 and Mayple since 2021, a pre-seed investor for OpenPolicy since 2023, and a project governing board member for CoSAI at OASIS since 2024. Previously, he garnered success as a seed investor for SPLX (a Zscaler company), Dig Security (a Palo Alto Networks company), Vinco and RapidSec (an Orca company). Mr. Schulman's investment philosophy centers on supporting entrepreneurs and teams not solely for financial gain but as a means of paying it forward, helping others achieve success while fostering connections within the entrepreneurial ecosystem. In 2020, following the acquisition of Segasec by Mimecast, a public company, Mr. Schulman assumed the role of vice president of brand protection at Mimecast. During his tenure there, he contributed to Mimecast's investment activities in cybersecurity ventures while continuing to influence industry standards. From 2017 to 2019, Mr. Schulman excelled as the co-founder and chief executive officer of Segasec, a company specializing in brand protection and anti-phishing solutions. Under his guidance, Segasec achieved rapid growth and industry recognition before its acquisition by Mimecast. He considers the successful sale of companies not only a financial milestone but also an opportunity to positively impact employees' careers, encouraging personal and professional development among his teams. Earlier roles that Mr. Schulman undertook included director of engineering at SAP SuccessFactors from 2014 to 2017, chief executive officer in residence at Inside Threat Agent at SAP between 2015 and 2016, co-founder and chief executive officer at Shizup from 2013 to 2016, and general manager and senior vice president of products and engineering at OpTier in 2014. He also held advancing roles with companies like OpTier from 2009 to 2014, HP Software between 2006 and 2009, as well as Mercury Interactive and Amdocs. Mr. Schulman began his tenure in 1998 as a researcher for the Israel Defense Forces. In preparation for his future, Mr. Schulman earned a Bachelor of Science in computer science and mathematics at Bar-Ilan University in 2004, followed by a Master of Business Administration in marketing and information systems in 2007 from Bar-Ilan University in Ramat Gan Israel. The analytical skills acquired during his studies have been instrumental throughout his career, from developing technical solutions early on to leading complex organizations today. Mr. Schulman is an active member of several industry organizations, including the OWASP Foundation, the Coalition for Secure AI and OpenPolicy, demonstrating his commitment to shaping best practices within the field. Civic engagement has also been integral to his ethos. Mr. Schulman has served as a board member for Returniverse since 2022. He also actively participates in community outreach initiatives, such as fundraising efforts that include buying groceries for families in need. Mr. Schulman formerly served as an advisory board member for Rotate and as a board member for Cynomi. Throughout his career, Mr. Schulman has been recognized for his expertise through several patents between 2008 and 2022 in his field, underscoring his contributions to advancing cybersecurity technologies. His achievements have been further recognized with honors, such as the IT Top 100 Award for 2026, as well as special recommendations from both the President of Israel and a Brigadier General. Mr. Schulman attributes much of his success both personally and professionally to the unwavering support of his family, a source of empowerment that motivates him daily as he continues making significant contributions across technology sectors worldwide. Looking ahead, he is determined to secure a brighter future for his children by exemplifying how hard work leads to meaningful accomplishments. He remains committed to achieving further success with Lasso Security, whether through continued growth or new ventures, and frequently contemplates contributing more broadly through social causes or even political engagement.
